Wemade kicks off the national amateur tennis tournament WEMIX OPEN 2024 with Chungcheong qualifiers on June 15, launching a four-month event.


Wemade organized this large-scale amateur tennis tournament to promote blockchain technology. Utilizing the blockchain-based social platform Wepublic, the event aims to provide a more accessible Web3 experience.


Under the slogan The Beginning of a Rally Toward a Better World, the tournament will feature 2,800 athletes from 1,460 teams competing for a 50,000 WEMIX prize pool across men’s/women’s singles and doubles, mixed singles and doubles, and team events.


In alignment with the event’s purpose, prize winners will receive an equivalent amount of WEMIX as Wepublic Sponsorship Grants, allowing them to donate to chosen projects using Wepulic’s new sponsorship feature.


Wemade will conduct regional qualifiers across eight regions from June 15th to September 29th. The finalists will compete at the Jangchung Tennis Court in Seoul on October 19th and 20th.


The Chungcheong region qualifiers took place on June 15th and 16th at the MMOVE Tennis Cheonan Branch, with 320 participants from 176 teams registered through Wepublic. The top 21 teams (excluding category winners) advancing to the semifinals received both prize money and sponsorship grants, which they now utilize to engage in sponsorship activities on Wepublic.


Ji-Yeon Jang, a participant in the men's doubles qualifiers, remarked, "It was a wonderful event where people of all ages could come together. It was significant to enjoy playing tennis and simultaneously contribute to society through sponsorships."
